Recently, Mango Swiss was asked to create the website for SNAPI, a new system which allows partially-sighted users to record and edit their own preferences for how they would like to view information on any SNAPI-enabled terminal.

The site, which itself complies with RNIB guidelines on accessibility, is a secure user-application website built with Ruby on Rails (the language behind Twitter), that acts as the main portal for the partially-sighted user to log in and control their preferences, from font size and colour schemes to audio options. Profile information is then transferred to the user's travel concession card, allowing them to use the card to access other SNAP terminals and view sites the way they have chosen. 

The system is due to go into full production soon, and we are already working on further website development.

Mango Swiss has been working with Jellyhead 3D since 2002. We helped them to create their identity and logo, and establish a very recognisable brand. Now their website is a colourful and active home from which to promote the amazing work they do creating promotional costumes, props and models for marketing and entertainment. Their work has featured on Harry Hill's TV Burp and the latest series of The Apprentice.

Because Jellyhead 3D is a busy business with lots of new things to show and shout about, they wanted a site they could update regularly and easily. Showcasing their work in a slick gallery was also important, as was the need to have business support functionality such as an online calendar and direct mail facility.

We felt that Joomla! was a perfect fit for Jellyhead 3D, with lots of bespoke work by us to give the client a unique looking site that kept the Jellyhead 3D brand and colour pallette strong and lively.

Mango Swiss has just designed, built and launched a new website for Chris Snode's Sports Promotions and Modelling Agency.

The former Olympic gold medalist asked us to create a full searchable facility for more than 500 models. The site is fully editable via its own Content Management System. Other features include:

• Search by gender and sporting discipline

• Client and admin lightboxes for shortlisting prospects

• Cover-flow photo display feature

• Client content editor

• Photo and description editing

• Model text-messaging system

This was a bespoke site built to a very specific brief. Chris wanted a comprehensive site with a lot of content and useability, but one where the primary reason for the site - finding just the right model - was an easy undertaking for the visitor.

Starting a banking recruitment agency in this climate is a tough challenge. Ultimate Banking are a small but very experienced team of consultants that needed to quickly establish a powerful online presence. They also wanted to be able to control the content on the site to make it as up-to-date and relevant as possible in a fast-changing marketplace.

Within four weeks we developed a brand identity for them, and wrote, designed and built a website from scratch. The Joomla! framework we used provides them with a cost-effective content management system. The site even has its own blog, allowing Ultimate Banking to create a more informal medium through which they can post news and views, get feedback and push content to subscribers via an RSS feed.

The web can be a highly effective medium for artists to show and promote their work, if the site is designed with sensitivity and care. When we devised and built the website for artist and ceramicist Jane Muir we wanted her work to feature strongly, with little else to distract the eye.

To show off her work as faithfully as possible and to best effect, Jane commissioned a professional photographer for the site, anorther key element of creating visually-led sites. The quality of the photography and the deliberately spare design environment created by Mango Swiss have combined to create a striking artist's space.

Like all successful artists, Jane would rather be in the studio than parked in front of a laptop, so we also made it quick and easy for her to update the site herself with new images of her work, and the ability to add new pages.

The Harrow Green site was a close collaboration between their own marketing team, a writer and project manager, our colleague company Laker Sharville (as identity consultants) and members of the Mango Swiss team. It is a completely bespoke site featuring Flash,  CSS scripting and unique design elements. The client manages some of the content through their own Adobe Contribute licence.

Customers can see stone samples close-up, and clear sections on the site provide instant access to relevant information for commercial clients and those wishing to view Richard's original fireplace range.

We constructed the site from the ground up, hewn from the web's very own raw materials, HTML and CSS, shaped and turned into a bespoke website, and completed with a strong identity and professionally commissioned photography.

An enduring site that conveys the beauty, versatility and permanence of Richard's work.

As well as designing and building the site, we created the Hurding & Ferri logo, and arranged their printed stationery, vehicle livery and signage. The site features a Flash gallery to showcase Hurding & Ferri's impressive work, and an animated logo adds a dynamic introduction to the site.

Job done. Stick the kettle on.
